[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at Bullis for my daughter. She's an excellent student but the public school atmosphere is eating her alive. She's very self-motivated and they don't want to motivate her forward for her sake, they want to motivate her forward to increase their own rankings. They see kids like her as a golden ticket. It's not surprising so many of the local psychologists/therapists in this area state 90-95% of their teen patients come from my daughter's school and TJ. Yes, I did some local research.

That said, I am rather appalled at the focus on Ivies, etc. in this area. I want my daughter to go to a school where she can not only get a good education, but where she can enjoy her life and learning.  My husband is profoundly dysgraphic and did not even go to college, nearly flunked out of high school. Yet became a multi-millionaire in his early 30s due to his own hard work and his own smarts. He codes in fractal mathematics and has a reputation for being able to break down code that others can't.

It isn't all about where one went to college or high school. So many other factors make a person who they are.

The perfect school for a child is the school where they feel safe and content. Without those two components, true learning is impossible and life in general becomes a struggle.  Yes, I'm probably considered 'weird' by DC standards, but I'm good with being weird if it means my children grow to be good, content, decent people who can support themselves in their chosen field.[/quote]

THis is not a "wierd" post...the truth is...and you won't get much of it on thiss board...you are directly "SPOT ON" regarding the "perfect school" commentary...
Good Luck!
